Lots of walking. Full of history - Raffa the guide was very personable. Great communication before the tour. She spoke many languages and made everyone feel welcome. Her knowledge of history was impressive and the tour stopped often and gave us a great start to our Sardinian stay. She also recommended local shops and restaurants and was so enthusiastic. Would recommend

Cagliari and its history - Nice visit with timely and precise historical notes, to help us contextualize what was revealed before our eyes. The friendliness and competence of our guide Renato were a great added value. Excellent organization by Raffaela who was able to fully grasp our needs, including that of lunch, for which she was able to recommend Simone's excellent restaurant. Fully satisfied, we recommend choosing this pleasant experience!!!!
